The bass was...loud? There was no bass at all, that was the problem. The bass kicked in for a few seconds right at the end with Perfect Stranger and it was insane, but other than that, the bass was lacking the entire set.

Re: Magnetic Man

And it was their own fault too... not the sound people.

I caught the tail end of thier performance and it was right when the bass kicked on. I was watching The Black Keys and missed most of their set, but I ran over to catch Sasha and saw the final few minutes.

How do you know it was their fault? Just curious, that seems like something that's extremely noticeable if it was on their end that they would have fixed early on in the set.

I was there, regardless of the sound and Sgt. Pokes' annoying MC'ing, I still had a blast. Saw them again at Creamfields in August and their show was fucking incredible, I highly recommend seeing them at least once.

Hm interesting, you'd think that in a bass-driven live set, that'd be the first thing they try to fix rather than let it go unfixed the entire set, who knows, maybe it just wasn't fixable at the time? I talked to Benga on a plane ride over to Manchester over the summer and we talked about Coachella for a bit, I didn't want to push for any answers or annoy him but he never mentioned anything about shitty sound...

Re: Magnetic Man

They were lame the whole time, sound or not. Worst part was when the MC had everyone get down to the ground for awhile, leading you to expect some legendary drop. Ended up being one of the most underwhelming part of any set that weekend. Thank god the Sahara was in good hands afterwards.

Sucks to be you, that part was awesome. He kept saying get low, get low... and you could feel the bass vibrating through the earth.
